Hopefully Jimmy is being clever and not ever giving a clear answer on KvV so the opponents don't know what they're getting until the day of the match. Preparing for facing Long is a different prospect to facing the big man I would think.

There are no fresh injury concerns for the Cobblers from the weekend defeat at Fleetwood, and there is good news on injured pair Aaron Pierre and Aaron Phillips, who have both been out long term with thigh injuries.

Pierre was back out with the first team squad at Moulton College this morning, going through the warm-ups, while Phillips is also back out running again.

One thing I did notice Saturday though was how many times he headed the ball into a dangerous position halfway between our box and the centre circle. I couldn't work out if our invisible midfield was at fault for this or if it was just him having a 50p head.

Agreed. I really liked his attitude on the pitch. Could tell he was taking every loss personally and really told a teammate when he felt they should be performing better.I also feel Taylor played better alongside Pierre. Not sure if it's just my memory playing tricks though...

Pierre had a wobbly start but was just starting to show some good form before he got injured.
